2026 Alberto Trujillo; La Estrella - Colombia

This is a Pink Bourbon selection from a region we worked in more extensively in the past. Rica Brisa in Tarqui has always been a bit mysterious, and it is exciting to bring a lot from this special place back to the menu. In the cup we find raspberry jam, Key lime, and caramel apple.

The 2026 Alberto Trujillo release from Sey Coffee highlights the meticulous work of producer Alberto Trujillo in the Tarqui region of Colombia. This specific lot features the Pink Bourbon varietal, a hybrid increasingly recognized for its complex balance of sweetness and acidity. While Pink Bourbon is often celebrated for its distinct clarity and vibrant profile, this particular harvest presents a nuanced cup characterized by notes of raspberry jam, Key lime, and caramel apple.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the interplay between the bright citrus acidity and the deeper, fruit-forward sugars present in the cup. As a representative example of the high-quality output emerging from the Huila department, this coffee offers a compelling look at how regional terroir and varietal selection converge to create a sophisticated sensory experience.
